Jones (20-1) picked up his 14th UFC victory earlier this year when he defended his title vs. Glover Teixeira. He was originally scheduled to rematch Alexander Gustafsson, but “The Mauler” went down with an injury and was replaced by Cormier.

Jones and Cormier heated up the intensity level surrounding their fight when they “brawled” on stage during a media day last week. The two were also interviewed on ESPN, FOX Sports 1 and several other networks after the incident.
